As we observe the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II this year, The Stop & Shop Supermarket Company LLC has announced that the company will be honoring New York area veterans and those returned from active duty at events scheduled throughout the year at the American Airpower Museum at Republic Airport and the Museum of American Armor at Old Bethpage Village Restoration. Long Island hosts one of the largest veteran's populations in the United States with approximately 210,000 men and women living in the bi-county area who have worn the uniform of the American military.
